“In a move to further demonstrate its commitment to supporting
Linux as an embedded operating system, I-Logix today announced a
strategic partnership with MontaVista Software, the developer of
Hard Hat(TM) Linux for embedded applications. Through this
partnership, I-Logix will support MontaVista’s Hard Hat Linux
embedded operating system as a target for code developed in its
Rhapsody(TM) application development platform. In addition,
MontaVista will provide its customers with access to Rhapsody,
enabling them to quickly and efficiently leverage Linux as an
embedded operating system to reduce development costs and overall
time-to-market.”
“As part of the agreement, I-Logix and MontaVista will work
together on a number of levels including sales, marketing and
development. I-Logix has committed to developing embedded Linux
support into its Rhapsody application development platform,
allowing software developers to leverage the open-source embedded
operating system with no royalties, to produce higher quality code
with lower development costs. In addition, trial versions of
Rhapsody and Hard Hat Linux will be cross-bundled with shipping
versions of each product, providing customers with an opportunity
to experience the power of these combined products.”
